Hypothesis Testing-Mean (Large Sample)

In a recent survey, the average amount of money

students have in their pockets is $5.40 with a standard

deviation of $1.20. A teacher feels that the average

amount is actually higher. She surveys 80 randomly

selected students and finds the average amount is

$5.50. At α = 0.05, test the teacher’s claim that the

average amount of money is actually higher than $5.40.

The average miles on a tank of gas for the Ford

Explorer is 300 miles with a standard deviation of 22

miles. A consumer group feels the average is actually

lower. They survey 40 vehicles and find the average

miles per tank is 290 miles. At α = 0.05, test the

consumer groups’ claim that the miles per tank is

actually lower than 300 miles.

A sample of 35 cans of Campbell’s Tomato Soup found

that the net weight of the cans was 298 grams with a

standard deviation of 24 grams. The production line

supervisor has been told that the net weight of all cans

is 308 grams. Is there enough evidence, at the 5% level,

to say that the weight of the cans is something other

than 308 grams?

The Quick Stop claims that the Big Slurp will contain 48

ounces of drink. You decide to test this claim because

you feel the actual amount is lower. Over the next few

weeks, you buy 50 Big Slurps and find the average

amount of drink is 47 ounces with a standard deviation

of 2.75 ounces. At α = 0.05, can you reject the Quick

Stop’s claim?

A cereal company claims the mean sodium content in

one serving of its cereal is no more than 230 mg. You

work for a national health service and are asked to test

this claim. You find that a random sample of 52

servings has a mean sodium content of 232 mg and a

standard deviation of 10 mg. At α = 0.05, do you have

enough evidence to reject the company’s claim?
